316 Stainless Steel Fasteners

316 Stainless Steel


The 316 alloy is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel that contains 18% chromium, 8% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum. The higher nickel and molybdenum content in this grade allows it to demonstrate better overall corrosion-resistant properties than the 304 alloy, which is especially true in pitting and crevice corrosion within chloride environments. In addition, Alloy 316 stainless steel fasteners provide excellent elevated temperature tensile and stress rupture strengths, as well as outstanding weldability. Fastener Solutions offers this alloy grade as 316 stainless steel screws, 316 stainless steel washers, and 316 stainless steel nuts and bolts.
